Not only is he a two-time Australia\u2019s Strongest Man winner able to carry incredible weights, but he can hold a big tune too. In fact, the man-mountain appeared on both Australia\u2019s, and<em> America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em>, flooring audiences with his ferocious strength and velvet-like vocal skills.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Williams is readying for the hotly anticipated 2025 World\u2019s Strongest Man contest, and in an exclusive chat with M&amp;F, the record-breaking athlete explains what separates the warriors from the weaklings.<\/p>\n<p>The 2017 and 2018 Australia\u2019s Strongest Man, Eddie Williams has a voice that should be heard on records, but he spends the majority of his time smashing them instead. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guinnessworldrecords.com\/world-records\/517798-fastest-time-to-pull-a-tank-over-10-metres\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The strength athlete holds the Guinness World Record for pulling a tank over 10 meters<\/a> in 36.65 seconds and set another world record in 2023, when he appeared at the Giants Live Strongman Classic at the Royal Albert Hall in London and carried two uneven Nicol stones for 31.66 meters.<\/p>\n<p>With one stone weighing 251 pounds (114 kilograms) and the other a whopping 306 pounds (139 kilograms), this feat remains unmatched, but one result that Williams is chasing with more vigor than ever before is the title of World\u2019s Strongest Man. With just days away from the competition, Williams told M&amp;F exactly what can make all the difference in each event.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-related article link-related__with-thumb\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/workouts\/athletecelebrity-workouts\/how-train-worlds-strongest-man\/\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"article__figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/1109-eddie-hall.jpg?w=150&amp;h=84&amp;crop=1&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, 280px\" alt=\"Eddie Hall\" width=\"150\" height=\"84\" data-fallback-img=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/1109-eddie-hall.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Eddie Williams Proves There\u2019s No Gain Without Pain in Strongman<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWhat I put it down to is the pain threshold,\u201d explains the crushing crooner. \u201cWhoever\u2019s willing to go to those dark places and just really fight through your hands, feeling like the rings are going to cut through your hands. So, it just shows, it\u2019s not only about being strong, it\u2019s also being able to just hold on, even when you\u2019re like, \u2018I\u2019m probably going to break a finger.\u2019 It\u2019s that kind of grit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest challenges that strongman athletes face is the irregular and unpredictable weights that they must conquer. \u201cWhen I got the Guinness World Record for pulling a tank, how do you train for that? Use a cow?\u201d jokes Williams. \u201cYou use a car, but a car rolls and builds up momentum. A tank is totally different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a lone strongman competitor in Adelaide, Williams had to charm the owner of his local fitness center, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strengthlab.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strength Lab Gym<\/a> to store all of his unconventional exercise equipment. \u201cI don\u2019t think she expected that I would bring everything. Atlas stones\u2026 yoke. Now she\u2019s like, \u2018you can bring it in, on one condition: you can\u2019t break anything,\u2019\u201d he shares. \u201cAnd I think I\u2019ve broken more things than anyone else in the gym.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Williams is willing to pay things forward for the next generation, allowing up and comers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bjstone_ssf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BJ Stone<\/a> to play with his taxing toys. \u201cI\u2019m excited for him,\u201d says Williams. \u201cWe train quite a bit together.\u201d It\u2019s abundantly clear that William\u2019s is an inspirational athlete and is building a strongman empire in South Australia.<\/p>\n<h2>Eddie Williams is Looking to Progress in the 2025 World\u2019s Strongest Man<\/h2>\n<p>Shortly after his impressive fifth place at the 2019 World\u2019s Strongest Man event, Williams took around 2-years off the from the sport. While his return has seen him break records, the athlete is also hoping to progress in WSM. Six months ago, The Walker Corporation, where he works as a security guard, became what Williams regards as a \u201cgame changing\u201d sponsor who not only give him the time he needs to train, but they also use his singing prowess at company events, too. Being able to focus more hours on strongman is paying dividends, and saw the big Aussie qualify early for the 2025 WSM by placing third in last year\u2019s Giants Live Strongman Championships in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love Strongman, because you learn so much about yourself at competitions,\u201d explains the multi-talented star who has serenaded Arnold Schwarzenegger and often takes the mic following an event, much to the delight of audiences around the world. \u201cSo, as much as this is a competition about the top 20 guys, 27 guys in the world, it\u2019s a way for me to learn more about myself, so then I can improve every competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axs.com\/uk\/series\/25838\/world-s-strongest-man-2025-tickets?skin=wsm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 2025 SBD World\u2019s Strongest Man competition takes place in Sacramento, California, on May 15-18.
